Wow, I can see this is one of those seriously deep questions that just eats away at you to no end, so much so that you're forced to post a question on Yahoo Answers because the question is such a profound, troublesome weight to bear on your own. Whew. Deep man, truly deep.

Black ice is deadly, by the way, because you can't see it. If you're going too fast and you turn just right - slip - you're out of control. At least slush lets you know it's there and allows you to adjust your driving as necessary. A driver's ed instructor might tell you that they are equally dangerous.

Black ice for sure. You cannot see it and dont even now its there until you are sliding on it. Slush is just messy and wet. Not any more slippery than water.

black ice is more difficult to drive in. you don't know about it until you feel the car sliding usually.

Black ice b/c you can't see it to prepare for it. Slush is easily visible.

Black Ice. Often, The driver cannot see the black ice and is more likely to slipp it. In addition, my school never closes when snow or slush is on the ground. It usually only closes when there is black ice on the ground.

Black ice, for sure. Slush, though wet, can still give traction. Black ice is simply no traction or very little traction at all.

The danger in these kinds of things is because they can be hard to prepare for HOWEVER....BLACK ICE IS WORSE because you do not know where it is or have any warning!!! Slush you can see, predict, avoid... which makes it much less dangerous

Black Ice only because most people don't even see it until it's too late.

Black Ice can be extremely dangerous. Not only is it very slippery, it is also hard to see. Slush can be spit out by the tread of your tires, and still get decent traction.

Black ice, you can't see it but it's easy to spin out on. Slush, you may slide but it's unlikely to send you spinning.

Any ice is worse than ant snow. The tires can get to the road surface in slush not ice.

black ice.

slush will push you around a little, but you can still stop the car or turn it if you need to keep from hitting someone...

black ice, i don't care how heavy your car is, or how light, or what tires, or if its 4wheel drive, or if you have ABS or traction control... you are not in control.



all this "you never see black ice coming" is retarded... if the road was wet, and the air was cold, and there has not been enough sunlight to melt it, you can assume every single smooth spot is black ice... and even when you KNOW the road is covered in black ice, you are still not in full control of the vehicle... aka "out of control"

Black ice because it doesn't appear to be ice, just a dark spot on the road


makinroadkill
Black ice is worst, less control on it, you can help keep your breaks dry in slush with light pedal pressure.

Black ice is also one of the winters worse hazards that four-wheel drive vehicles cannot overcome.

So Black Ice would be the worse.

No question ----- black ice far worse.

The smooth surface of black ice offers no traction for your tire, and nothing to interfere with sliding. Slush is a combination of ice particles and water, and the ice can offer a little friction as the particles roll under the tire like sand in a shoe.
